Epson Printer Filter Failure with rastertoescpII

I recently updated my Epson drivers via Software Update. Now when I try to print, I get an error message of a "filter failure" and that "rastertoescpII quit unexpectedly".


In the log file it says:

(/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS /rastertoescpII) crashed on signal 11


I have tried resetting the printing system via the Print & Scan preferences and downloading & installing the Epson Printer Software 2.15 (downloaded from the Apple support site). But nothing seems to help.


When I go to the Epson driver download page, it says that I can only get drivers via Software Update.


Does anybody have suggestions?

I've been struggling with the same problem for the past two days. Made the mistake of calling Epson. They had me delete some files and download an older version of the Epson driver. Now I don't get the old error message any more, but when I try to print, the files just disappear into thin and don't show up in the printer queue. Anyone any suggestions how to fix this?

Yuengdog1983, I don't know how you came up with this, but you're my hero today! So incredibly frustrating to have Epson printers go down (while the Canon works fine), and it ends up being such a stupid thing that never should have been an issue. I was resetting and reinstalling all kinds of printer crap and on the verge of calling Epson (which would have been a huge waste). Thanks again!
